Historian Christopher Daley presents Mass Murder Lecture — Historian Christopher Daley will return at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 4 to discuss Mass Murder – A Chronicle of Massachusetts’ Most Infamous Murder Cases. Adults intrigued by historical mystery and suspense will be interested in attending the lecture, which will explore cases ranging in time from 1755 to the 1960s. The 1960s investigation into the Boston Strangler case is also chronicled by Abington Reads author William Landay in his 2007 novel, “The Strangler.” Copies of “The Strangler” as well as the Abington Reads title, “Defending Jacob” may be obtained at the Library.

Mr. Daley is currently a history teacher in the Silver Lake Regional School System in Kingston. Additionally he has served as the Chairman of the Pembroke Historical Commission and the President of the Pembroke Historical Society. He received both his bachelors degree and masters degree from Bridgewater State College. This program is provided by state aid to public libraries funds.

Abington Reads Movie Series — During late February and March the Abington Public Library will offer a series of three movies, which are related to the themes explored in the 2014 Abington Reads title “Defending Jacob.” The movies are appropriate for adult audiences and will be screened in the Copeland Room. Due to movie licensing requirements, the library is unable to release the movie names here; contact the Library at 781-982-2139, or via email at ablib@ocln.org and information will be shared with viewers individually.

On Thursday, Feb. 27 at 6:45 p.m. an un-rated, black and white legal drama from the 1950s will be enjoyed. On Saturday March 8 at 2 p.m. a recent, R-rated, Golden Globe nominated thriller with parallels to the plot of Defending Jacob will be shown. On Saturday March 15 at 2 p.m. an un-rated classic drama from the 1950s, which is also related to the thematic elements of Defending Jacob, will be screened. All three films are appropriate for mature audiences.
